Which party to a contract absorbs the preponderance of cost risk when a firm-fixed-price (ffp) contract is used?

1 answer:

8 0

A firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract is a type of contract in which the price is not subject to any adjustment or changes that the contractor may experience on the cost during performing such contract. This contract type places upon the contractor the maximum risk or full responsibility for all costs and the profit or loss that may result.

Therefore, the answer to this question would be:

“The contractor or the seller”

Answer:

C) Hire a litigator who will agree to a contingent fee structure and require payment only if Marcos obtains a settlement or jury verdict.

Explanation:

Generally when lawyers agree to a contingent fee structure is because they are convinced their chances of winning are high. Lawyers will accept a fixed percentage of the amount recovered, usually this percentage is around 1/3 of the final settlement.

This type of agreement is very useful since you don't need to invest a lot of money, and the lawyer's pay comes from the money awarded by the jury (or a settlement).

Assume the spot rate of the British pound is $1.73. The expected spot rate 1 year from now is assumed to be $1.66. What percenta

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4.05%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Spot rate = $1.73

Expected spot rate after 1 year = $1.66

So, we can calculate the depreciation percentage by using the following formula:

Expected Depreciation = (Expected spot rate after 1 year - Spot rate) / Spot rate

So, by putting the value

= ($1.66 – $1.73) / $1.73

= - $0.07 / $1.73

= - 4.05%

Hence, the depreciation percentage is 4.05%.

Incomplete question. The full question read;

Malcolm has several receipts from recent transactions that he entered into his records. The receipts include an ATM receipt for an $80.00 deposit, a grocery store receipt for $25.50, and a paycheck deposit slip for $650.00.

When he finishes entering his transactions, Malcolm realizes that his balance is incorrect. Assuming that Malcolm had no beginning balance, what should his correct balance be?

Answer:

$704.50

Explanation:

First, we need to note which transactions are credit transactions, and which is a debit transaction. Remember, a credit transaction basically means a transaction that brings money into your account, while the latter is a transaction that takes money out of your account.

Malcolm's credit transactions:

ATM receipt for an $80.00 deposit

paycheck deposit slip for $650.00

Total: $730.

Malcolm's debit transactions:

grocery store receipt for $25.50

Total: $25.50

Substracting total debit transactions from credit transactions, Malcolm's correct balance would be = $704.50 ($730-$25.50).

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

a. Contribution margin per passenger ($50-$20) = $30

b. Contribution margin ratio (30/50) = 60%

c. Operating Income (390000-270000) = $120,000

d. Operating Profit = $42,000

Explanation:

a. Contribution formula = Sale - Variable Cost

Sale price per passenger = $50

Variable Cost per passenger = $20

Contribution margin per passenger ($50-$20) = $30

b. Contribution Margin ratio formula = Contribution/Sale

Sales per passenger = 50

Contribution per passenger = 30

Contribution margin ratio (30/50) = 60%

c. Operating profit = Contribution margin- Fixed Cost

Monthly sale total for 13000 passenger

Sale per passenger = $50

Total sale for 13000 passenger 13000*50 = $650,000

Contribution Margin per passenger =$30

Total Contribution margin for 13000 passenger = 13000*30 = $390,000

Less: Fixed Cost = 270,000

Operating Income (390000-270000) = $120,000

d. Contribution margin formula= (Sale x Contribution margin ratio)

Contribution margin = (520000*60%) = $312,000

Less: Fixed Cost = 270,000

Operating Profit = $42,000
